Nå må vi faktisk slutte med dette: "Tekstlikhet" i seg selv betyr ingenting (korrekt førte sitater er også tekstlikhet) - problemet, Kjerkol, er at du klipper og limer hele formuleringer som IKKE er sitater. Media kan også godt slutte med denne begrepsmessige tåkeleggingen.

Why do people seem to be getting #sick more often now?

For yet another year we are already seeing earlier and significantly higher #hospital #admissions for #respiratory #illness than pre-pandemic levels. Are there new mysterious #pathogens starting to attack us now? 🧪🧵1/

Departementet prøver bare å gjøre køen kortere, for å dekke over hvor mye verre de allerede har gjort ordningen. Dette er kun et resultat av at klageordningen ble flyttet fra forbrukerrådet til forbrukertilsynet, en løsning ingen hadde bedt om, og alle advarte mot.
